How to convert any Object to String?

Question

Here is my code:

for (String toEmail : toEmailList)          
{
    Log.i("GMail","toEmail: "+toEmail);
    emailMessage.addRecipient(Message.RecipientType.TO, new InternetAddress(toEmail));      
}

Please give me some suggestion about this.

Answer 1

To convert any object to string there are several methods in Java

String convertedToString = String.valueOf(Object);  //method 1

String convertedToString = "" + Object;   //method 2

String convertedToString = Object.toString();  //method 3

I would prefer the first and third

EDIT
If working in kotlin, the official android language

val number: Int = 12345
String convertAndAppendToString = "number = $number"   //method 1

String convertObjectMemberToString = "number = ${Object.number}" //method 2

String convertedToString = Object.toString()  //method 3

Answer 2

"toString()" is Very useful method which returns a string representation of an object. The "toString()" method returns a string reperentation an object.It is recommended that all subclasses override this method.

Declaration: java.lang.Object.toString()

Since, you have not mentioned which object you want to convert, so I am just using any object in sample code.

Integer integerObject = 5;
String convertedStringObject = integerObject .toString();
System.out.println(convertedStringObject );

You can find the complete code here. You can test the code here.

Answer 4

I am not getting your question properly but as per your heading, you can convert any type of object to string by using toString() function on a String Object.

Answer 5

If the class does not have toString() method, then you can use ToStringBuilder class from org.apache.commons:commons-lang3

pom.xml:

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.apache.commons</groupId>
  <artifactId>commons-lang3</artifactId>
  <version>3.9</version>
</dependency>

code:

ToStringBuilder.reflectionToString(yourObject)
